The Alchemist a story of a boy named Santiago who learns five life lessons the first life lesson that Santiago learned was that the fear of failure is the greatest obstacle to happiness. To me means that if you think that your going to fail then it will thou you of your concentration and then you probably will fail. That life lesson connects with me and my life because I have over confidence which has in most terms the same effect but with it I don’t think about it to much and it throws me of my concentration.

The second life lesson that Santiago learned was that the real treasure is in the journey itself. That life lesson to me means that to get to your destination or goal you first haft to do a hole bunch of stuff to get there or work hard to do it. That life lesson connects with me because when me and my dad go to California we bring along some other people and go on a rode trip and on are way there we go to the see side Origen, and Laws Vagus, and California is fun but getting there is more fun.

The third life lesson that Santiago learned was that everything is possible no matter what was said or done in the past, because today you decide it will be possible. To me that life lesson means that if someone tried to do something hard and challenging like complete an obstacle corse and you couldn’t because you weren’t strong or tall enuf but then in a few years when you are strong or tall enuf then then you can do it regardless of what happened in the past.

This connects with me because I used to really weak but now I’m stronger then I thought I could ever be at this age. The forth life lesson that Santiago learned was that You already know what you need to know. To me that life lesson means that know matter how little or how much when you know something, anything will help you with the problem or situation that you you might be having trouble with. This life lesson connects with my life because when I per-say take a test I always use the things that I know to help me with the questions that I don’t remember or forgot.

The fifth and final life lesson that Santiago learned was that it is up to you alone to live your greatest life. To me that life lesson means that no mater how much and/or how manny people don’t believe that you can do something if you can set your mind to something you can do it if you believe in yourself. This life lesson connects with my life because when I graduate high school I want to go to college for fore years and then go traveling around the world and lots of people are giving me a hared time about it.
